ARRANGED MARRIAGES THERAPY



ARRANGED MARRIAGES THERAPY

Are you getting married to a person who you’ve only known for six months, more or less? Is your arranged marriage filled with excitement and anticipation but also fear that you are marrying somebody that you know very little about and will soon be joining their family? Are you wanting help to address concerns around sexual intimacy, setting up a marriage and communication?

All in the Family Counselling Centre has been helping individuals, who are of Indian origin or from India, deal with the pressures and realities that come after being married, especially in arranged marriage in which you know very little about the person or for short time. Arranged marriages, while filled with excitement and anticipation by both of the families, are often filled with fear, pressure and anxiety for the two individuals who are now starting a life together with somebody who they know very little about.

Arranged marriages are a unique opportunity to learn about yourself and the other person, but there is a lot of pressure because the families have placed enormous expectations on the couples, couples have expectations on themselves and they are often young people who are leaving home for the first time.

Many individuals lack the skills and knowledge they need to successfully communicate about their feelings, their wants, their needs. Couples in arranged marriage need help learning how to communicate, set boundaries, form agreements and do healthy communication and conflict. All of these are skills that can be learnt.

All in the Family Counselling has developed special skills and programs designed to help couples who are going through arranged marriage. In addition, we have developed intensive retreats that couples can use to get away from the pressures of everyday life so that they can get to know each other in a safe, guided environment while receiving education around communication, sexual intimacy, boundaries and agreements.

We do these retreats in Pula, Croatia of the Mediterranean and they are custom designed for each couple, that incorporate wonderful activities, nature, food so that couples can have the safety and experiences they need to learn and grow as a couple.

All in the Family Counselling has been providing services in Southeast Asia and Singapore online for over two decades. Our online program combined with retreats in which you meet with therapist for a period of five to thirty days have proven extremely successful and life changing.
